A Lesser Frigatebird gliding effortlessly toward me on a thermal. There's something a little eerie about it — almost an ominous feeling… ^^;

Huge… According to the field guide, the wingspan is over 180 cm.

A Greater Crested Tern also searched for prey, soaring leisurely over the kuruma prawn aquaculture ponds.

Success — it caught a kuruma prawn. According to someone at the farm, the prawns that get taken are weak ones, so it's no problem. ^^;

A colony of Black-naped Terns. About five pairs were present.

A white-morph Pacific Reef Heron crouching low, eyeing its prey.

The catch turned out to be a small fish… ^^;
